📍Epicenter Helsinki, Finland
🔗 RSVP here so we know who´s coming

[INVITATION]

Creative minds. New connections. Good conversations.

I'm visiting Epicenter Helsinki (for a quick stint ahead of Slush) on November 17 and would love to meet people from the local creative, tech and entrepreneurial community.

I'm Sofie Marin, Founder & CEO of Arts Dynamics, the independent Creative Tech Cluster at Epicenter, where we connect music, arts and culture with emerging technologies, business and capital.

Now we want to learn more about what's happening in Helsinki, meet the people shaping its creative and entrepreneurial landscape, and share a little about what we're building with Arts Dynamics in Stockholm, Nordics and Beyond.

No presentations. No formal agenda. Just an informal opportunity to say hello, exchange ideas and see where the conversation takes us.

Whether you're an artist, creative entrepreneur, founder, innovator or simply interested in what happens when creativity meets technology and business, you're very welcome.

Let's meet, connect and get to know each other!

Emotional Intelligence: Your Competitive Edge
Build self-awareness to scale.

As your company grows, how you handle pressure and work with people can shape how quickly your team moves and how well it works together.

Scaling can bring familiar challenges:

• You react quickly when the stakes are high.
• Difficult conversations get delayed, slowing decisions.
• Misunderstandings weaken trust and team ownership.

What this Campfire covers
This is a practical working session for founders who want to recognize their patterns, understand their impact, and choose how to respond.

We’ll explore:

• How to build self-awareness and spot your emotional patterns
• Ways to respond more effectively under pressure
• Practical approaches to difficult conversations
• How your behavior can build trust and team ownership

You’ll leave with a clearer view of how your leadership affects your team and practical skills to use in real situations.

No big theories. No fluff. Just practical ways to lead more effectively.

Who this is for

Founders and CEOs who are:

• Leading teams of 10–200 people
• Navigating the pressure of growth
• Facing difficult conversations or team dynamics
• Ready to make emotional intelligence a practical leadership skill
